The monthly "public" meeting on May 19th of the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee (FERC) was closed to the public in response to this week's protests. In response protesters took over 1st St NE in front of FERC's doors. Sounds of chainsaws and fracking fluid injection were played over the PA.

Protesters had dogged the FERC monthly meetings for 18 months in a row, demanding the right to make public comments at a public meeting and always being dragged out. For the 19th month, as the Rubber Stamp Rebellion raged outside, FERC closed the meeting outright, calling into question any decisions that were supposed to be made at a public meeting.
